Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a terminal and a method for providing application-related data,

The present invention relates to a terminal and method for providing a file in a terminal, and more particularly, to a terminal and a method for providing a necessary file in a terminal through an application to be accessed.

Recently launched terminals can perform various kinds of functions such as multimedia execution and storage. For example, a camera function, a document function, a video function, and the like are integrated into the terminal, so that the terminal can generate and store an image file, a document file, a moving image file, or the like, or download the image file, In addition, various types of applications that perform the above-described functions are diversified, and various types of files are stored in the terminal, and the stored files are distributed and stored in various spaces of the terminal. In order to manage various files stored in the terminal, a file management application is used in the terminal or a terminal is connected to a PC to manage files in the terminal using a PC. For example, when a file stored in a terminal is to be copied to a PC, a USB is connected and the location of the file to be copied is found and copied to the PC.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a PC and a terminal when a terminal and a PC are connected by a USB according to a conventional method. The PC can be connected to the terminal, and the files stored in the terminal can be searched and managed on the PC. However, since there are many applications and system files and folders, it is not easy for the user to find a necessary file among the files stored in the terminal on the PC.

When the folder or file stored in the terminal is copied to the PC, only the folder and file designated according to the protocol according to the PC-terminal connection method can be accessed. Referring to FIG. 1, a number of folders and files designated according to the protocol for the USB connection appear in the window 1000 of the external drive for the terminal. In this case, the user has difficulty in searching for a folder or a file required by the user in the terminal. For example, when a photograph taken in the last summer is copied to a PC, there is an inconvenience that the user must memorize the path where the image file is stored or search the folder one by one.

In addition, the conventional file management system of the terminal provides an application-based approach unlike a computer in which an arbitrary specific folder is created according to an application and an interface of the terminal is accessed based on a file and a folder. It is difficult to confirm the origin of each folder, so that a user may accidentally delete a specific folder that affects the operation of the system through the file manager, thereby causing malfunction of the terminal. That is, the user may not be able to easily confirm what function the various folders and files stored in the terminal perform in the terminal and which application is involved, which may cause the above problems.

In addition, when an application is installed in a conventional terminal, an application file is stored in "/ system / Application" or "/ data / application" in the form of * .apk through a package manager, do. And new files can be created and stored through the application (e.g., a photo file created using a camera application). That is, various files related to a specific application may be created and stored in the terminal, and the locations in which the files are stored may vary.

Nevertheless, conventionally, only the files stored in the area designated at the time of application installation are managed by the package manager, and the files stored in other areas than the designated area are not separately managed. Therefore, detailed management of all the files stored in the terminal is not performed, and even though a part of the storage area is occupied, the user may not recognize the file and the file is left unattended.

In order to solve the above problems, there is a need for a terminal and a method capable of selectively and easily searching a necessary file among files stored in the terminal.

In addition, it is required to provide an interface by which a user can manage all files in a terminal by grouping all files existing in the terminal into application units.

A terminal for providing application-related data according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a connection unit for connecting a terminal and another device, and a connection unit for connecting the connection with the other device, And a synchronization unit for extracting the related data and synchronizing the extracted related data with the other device.

Further, a method of providing application-related data according to an embodiment of the present invention includes connecting a terminal with another device, and when the terminal is connected to the other device, receiving an application running on the terminal, And synchronizing the extracted related data with the other device.

According to an aspect of the present invention, when a terminal and another device are connected to each other, a folder and a file accessible by another device are displayed so that only a folder and a file desired by the user are displayed.

In addition, by grouping the files in the terminal on the basis of the application and providing the files to the user, all files in the terminal can be managed together with application management.

2 is a configuration diagram of a terminal for providing a necessary file in a terminal through an accessed application according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2, a terminal 100 providing application-related data according to an embodiment may include a connection unit 110, a synchronization unit 120, a relationship information generation unit 130, and a grouping unit 140 And does not necessarily include all of the configurations, and some configurations may be excluded, depending on the embodiment.

3 is a configuration diagram of another device connected to a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the connection unit 110 of the terminal 100 may be connected to the other devices 200 through a wired or wireless network 300. For example, when using a wired network, the connection unit 110 may be connected to the other device 200 via a universal serial bus (USB), and an MTP protocol via USB may be used. The other device 200 may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, an electronic book, a notebook, and a desktop. Hereinafter, the case where the other device 200 is a PC (personal computer) will be described as an example.

3, an external drive (G drive (G: \)) corresponding to the terminal 100 appears on the screen of the other device 200 in the search window 1000. The user can search, copy, move, delete, and modify the files and folders stored in the terminal 100 through the G drive displayed on the other device 200.

In the connection between the two devices and the file system sharing, when the terminal 100 and the other device 200 are connected, the transfer protocol setting is performed between the two devices. The other device 200 can access files and folders stored in the terminal 100 based on the protocol according to the connection mode. Depending on the connection protocol based on the connection method, the type and range of data that can be shared between the two devices may be different. That is, depending on the type of connection protocol, the range of files that can be accessed by other devices is different.

When the connection unit 110 is connected to another device, the synchronization unit 120 extracts related data of an application selected by an application running on the terminal 100 or a user after connection and synchronizes the extracted related data with the other device .

In one embodiment, the synchronization unit 120 may have a temporary storage 121. The temporary storage 121 may be represented as a folder, as any storage space that can contain data (files and folders, etc.) in the terminal 100. Also, the temporary storage 121 may be created or disappear according to the connection state of the terminal and other devices. For example, when the connection between the terminal and another device is started, a temporary storage is created, and when the connection is terminated, the temporary storage may disappear.

The synchronization unit 120 may synchronize the extracted related data with another device using the temporary storage 121. [ For example, the synchronization unit 120 may move or copy the related data to the temporary storage 121 in the terminal 100. [

In another embodiment, when the terminal 100 has a preset mounted folder, the synchronization unit 120 releases the preset mount folder and switches the temporary storage to the default mount folder It is possible. The mount folder refers to a folder that is displayed as a top-level folder of the terminal from another device when the terminal 100 is connected to another device. Such a mount folder may be set differently according to the connection protocol.

For example, when a folder including a large number of folders that are not organized as shown in FIG. 1 is set as a mount folder, the synchronization unit 120 transmits the temporary storage 121 to the terminal It is possible to switch to the basic mount folder of the hard disk 100.

When the temporary storage 121 is set as the basic mount folder, when the search for the terminal 100 is started by the other device 200, the temporary storage appears as the topmost folder. In the search window 1000 of FIG. 3, the "TEMP" folder 1001 is a folder representing the temporary storage 101.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the "TEMP" folder does not exist in the root (uppermost folder) of the G drive, and the lower contents of the "TEMP" folder may be displayed in the root of the G drive. When the temporary storage 121 is not set as the basic mount, various folders other than the "TEMP" folder will be present in the search window 1000 of FIG.

In one embodiment, the related data may be an installation file, a creation file, a log file, and a folder of an application that is being executed in the terminal or selected by a user after connection. Further, the related data may be a file or a folder selected by a user from among files or folders displayed on the terminal. The displayed file may be a file of at least one of an executable file, an image file, a music file, a moving picture file, a flash file, and a document file.

The synchronization unit 120 may execute an application in response to a user input or access a selected application folder through a file manager in the terminal 100. [

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining how the synchronization unit 120 accesses an application in response to a user input.

4A, when the user touches the icon 11a of the application "Music Player" for playing music, the application access unit 102 can execute the "Music Player" application in response to user input such as touch .

Alternatively, referring to FIG. 4B, a "Music Player" folder 11b included in the "Sdcard" folder is displayed through the file manager. The "Music Player" folder 11b is a folder created by installing the "Music Player" application, and may include a main music file related to the execution of the "Music Player" application. When the user selects the "Music Player" folder 11b, the application access unit 120 can access the selected folder. When the "Music Player" folder 11b is accessed, subfolders and files of the folder 11b will be displayed in the file manager. Here, the file manager may be a kind of application capable of searching for files and folders stored in the terminal 100.

Although the functions of the access unit have been described above by way of example of an application for playing music, it is to be understood that this is merely one example, and that any application including an application for playing music is included in the present invention, Is included in the function of the access unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5A and 5B are block diagrams of another device 200 and a terminal 100 for explaining generation of related data according to an embodiment of the present invention. The synchronization unit 120 may generate relevant data related to the accessed application in the temporary storage. That is, another file (related data) synchronized with the original file related to the application can be created in the temporary storage.

Related data is data provided to temporary storage for user's convenience. It is a virtual file and folder synchronized with the original file stored in the terminal, which can be viewed as a symbolic link directory or file. For example, a virtual synchronous file synchronized with the original file "AAcamera.dat" included in "data / application / AAcamera" is created in the temporary storage (temp / AAcamera.dat). The user can manipulate related data created in the temporary storage to copy, move, delete and change the original file.

In one example, when a camera application for photographing is accessed, the synchronization unit 120 stores the folder created by initially installing the accessed camera application in the terminal 100 ("data / application Quot; / AAcamera "is created in the terminal) and a folder and a file (related data) synchronized with the file in the temporary storage 121. [

The terminal 100 of FIG. 5A shows a screen in which a music list is displayed after the "Music Player" application of FIG. 4A is executed. When the music file of "Love song" (1a), "Yesterday" (2a), and "Tell me" (3a) is displayed as a list on the terminal 100, the synchronization unit 120 synchronizes And creates the related data in the temporary storage 121.

The related data generated in the temporary storage 121 is displayed through the window 1001 indicating the temporary storage of the other device 200. [ That is, the synchronization unit 120 stores the related data 1b corresponding to the music file 1a, the related data 2b corresponding to the music file 2a, and the related data 3b corresponding to the music file 3a .

The terminal 100 of FIG. 5B shows a screen in which the subfolders and files are displayed when the "Music Player" folder 11b of FIG. 4b is accessed. A "Old Pops" folder 4a exists as a subfolder of the "Music Player" folder 11b, and a music file "Love song" music file 5a and a "Tell me" music file 6a are included. In this case, the synchronization unit 120 generates the related data 4b, 5b, and 6b corresponding to the folder and the files 4a, 5a, and 6a displayed on the terminal 100 in the temporary storage 121.

Therefore, the user can copy, move, delete, modify, etc. the related data 1b, 2b, 3b or 4b, 5b, 6b generated in the temporary storage 101, Can be operated.

In one embodiment, the synchronization unit 130 may be stored in different subfolders according to the time order of the related data generated in the temporary storage 121 or the application being created. For example, when the user confirms the files 1 and 2 through the application 1 and then confirms the files 3 and 4 through the application 2, the related data generation unit 130 stores the file 1 and the file 2 in the temporary storage 121 The file 3 and the file 4 may be created in the folder 2 different from the folder 1.

It may be unnecessary to generate related data of all the files or folders displayed on the terminal 100 in the temporary storage 121 when a user is searching for a specific music file among many music files in the music list. In this case, the synchronization unit 130 may generate only relevant data for the specific music file selected by the user on the terminal 100 in the temporary storage 121. [ For example, in Fig. 5B, when only the music file "Tell me (6a)" is selected by the user, only the related data 6b of the music file "Tell me (6a)" can be displayed in the other device 200. [

 The terminal 100 according to another embodiment may further include a relationship information generation unit 130 and a grouping unit 140. [

The relationship information generating unit 130 may generate the name of each application stored in the terminal 100, files and folders for executing the respective applications, and application-file relationship information for files generated through the respective applications.

Specifically, the relationship information generating unit 130 can collect path information of files and folders related to a specific application on the basis of a specific application. When an arbitrary application is installed in the terminal 100, all the files and folders related to the application are not created in the folder created by installing the application.

For example, a cache file, a current file, and the like related to the application may not be included in the same parent folder. Accordingly, the relationship information generation unit 130 generates application-file relationship information associating all the files stored in the terminal 100 with at least one application.

In addition, the relationship information generation unit 130 may be configured such that when an application in the terminal 100 is installed, changed and deleted, when a new file is created through the application, and when the terminal performs media scanning So that the generated application-file relationship information can be regenerated.

That is, if there is a change in the file or folder stored in the terminal, the relationship information generating unit can regenerate the relationship information and update the relationship information. For example, when an application is installed, changed, or deleted, it includes a case where a new application is installed, updated, or deleted. When a new file is created through an application, A case where the terminal is connected to another device 200 when the terminal performs media scanning, a case where the terminal is disconnected, a case where the terminal is powered on, and the like may be included .

6 is a diagram illustrating a data structure grouped by a grouping unit of a terminal according to another embodiment. Referring to FIG. 6, a "Cache" folder 71, a "Files" folder 72 and a "Current" file 73 associated with the application 1 (hereinafter referred to as "APP1"

6, the top folder of the "Cache" folder 71 is the "data" folder, the top folder of the "Files" folder 72 is the "system" folder, As the "mnt" folder, each folder associated with APP1 was stored in different top-level folders, but grouped by APP1.

That is, the application-file relationship information generation unit 130 collects and confirms path information of files and folders related to the APP 1 to generate application-file relationship information, and the grouping unit 140 uses APP1 Grouping of the files stored in the terminal can be performed by grouping the files and folders by reference.

6, the application 2 (hereinafter referred to as "APP2") also includes a file 83 and folders 81 and 82 associated with the APP2 grouped in the same manner as APP1. However, APP2 further includes an "Image" For example, when APP2 is an application for photographing, the "Image" folder 84 may be a space in which image files generated by APP2 are stored.

In one embodiment, the grouping unit 150 may classify files and folders grouped on the basis of an application according to the type of the file. Here, the type of the folder can be classified according to the types of files included in the folder. For example, the file type may include at least one of a general file, a cache file, an image file, a moving picture file, a document file, and a security file.

7 is a configuration diagram showing a file and folder structure of APP2 in Fig. The application manager (APP MANAGER) 800 shown in FIG. 7 may be an application for managing files and folders stored in the terminal 100 based on an application stored in the terminal 100. The user can confirm and manage all the files and folders related to each application stored in the terminal 100 through the application manager 80. [

Referring to Fig. 7, " pic01 ", "pic02 ", and" pic03 " When the user desires to delete the files "pic01" and "pic02", the user can check the check boxes 81, 82 and selectively delete the checked files by selecting the "Delete (83)" button.

When the terminal 100 includes the relationship information generation unit 130 and the grouping unit 140, the synchronization unit 120 of the terminal 100 searches the corresponding application unit of the accessed application, The related data of the files and folders included in the unit can be generated in the temporary storage 121.

For example, if APP2 (application unit) is accessed while the terminal 100 is connected to the other device 200, the synchronization unit 120 generates a "Cache" folder 81, a "Files" folder 82, The related data of the file 83 and the "Image" folder 84 can be created in the temporary storage 101. [ In this case, the user can manage all the files and folders related to the APP 2 at once through the other device 200.

In another embodiment, the synchronization unit 130 can generate, in the temporary storage 121, related data synchronized with at least one of an image file, a moving picture file, a music file, and a document file among the raw data related to the accessed application have. In actual use, the user often connects the other device 200 and the terminal 100 to search for the above-mentioned image file or the like, and rarely searches the system file or the like related to the execution of the application .

In yet another embodiment, the terminal 100 may further include an associated data manager (not shown). When the related data generated in the temporary storage is copied, moved, or deleted by user input through the other device 200, the related data management unit may process the original data to be copied, moved, and deleted in the same manner.

The related data management unit may perform user confirmation before moving or deleting the related data when the original data of the related data is related to at least one of system maintenance and supplement of another application or terminal. For example, moving or deleting a file, which is essential for the maintenance and security of a file or a system related to execution of a plurality of applications, may cause a failure in the execution of the terminal 100. Therefore, It is necessary to be confirmed again.

8 is a flowchart of a method of providing application-related data according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9, a method of providing application-related data includes connecting a terminal to another device (S30), and when the terminal is connected to the other device, an application running on the terminal, And synchronizing the extracted related data with the other device (S40).

In addition, in the step S30 of creating the temporary storage, if a predetermined mount folder exists in the terminal, the mount function of the preset mount folder may be canceled and the created temporary storage may be switched to the default mount folder. In this case, when the internal file of the terminal is searched through the other device, the temporary storage may appear as the topmost folder.

In addition, the step S40 of synchronizing the related data of the application in the terminal may include executing the application in response to the user input, or accessing the selected application folder through the file manager or the like in the terminal. Here, the file manager may be a kind of file management application for searching files and folders in the terminal, and the application folder is a folder created by installing a specific application in the terminal, and stores a main file related to execution of installed applications It can mean space.

The related data may refer to data synchronized with original data associated with the accessed application. And the original data may be a file or a folder displayed on the terminal through the accessed application. In another embodiment, the raw data may be a file or folder selected by the user, among files or folders displayed on the terminal, via a file manager or the like. The file displayed on the terminal may be at least one of an executable file, an image file, a music file, a movie file, a flash file, and a document file.

9 is a flowchart of a method of providing application-related data according to another embodiment of the present invention. A method of providing application-related data according to another embodiment includes: generating application-file relationship information (S10); and grouping files stored in the terminal on the basis of application-file relationship information S20).

In the step S10 of generating application-file relationship information, the application-file relationship information includes information about each application name stored in the terminal, files and folders for executing the respective applications, and files and folders As information on the relationship, it includes information on the paths of all files and folders related to a specific application.

In addition, the step S10 of generating the application-file relationship information may include a step in which an application in the terminal is installed, changed and deleted, a new file is created through the application, and a case in which the terminal performs media scanning In some cases, it may include regenerating the generated application-file relationship information. That is, if the change of the file or folder stored in the terminal is presumed to exist or exists (for example, when the terminal is powered on or after the MTP connection is released, the relationship information is updated).
